1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

An eighteen-year-old male was brought with a gunshot to the right thorax. There was reduced air entry on the right chest, and the patient had AIS A neurology. However, plain radiographs of the spine were normal. CT of the chest revealed the trajectory of the bullet, which entered through the T7 right neural foramen, transected the cord, and exited the left foramen with minimal osteoligamentous disruption. The patient was managed conservatively, and once his respiratory function recovered, he underwent rehabilitation. This is the first report describing a low-velocity gunshot injury, causing cord injury without significant osteoligamentous disruption.
